Social Media Chair

Zinong (she/hers) is a 5th year Ph.D. student at Boston University studying computation neuroscience. Her research focuses on exploring the impact of sleep deprivation-induced low arousal states on ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics among healthy human participants. Previously, she graduated with a BS in Cognitive Science and Philosophy from University of California, San Diego in 2017. At NE GWiSE, she hopes to build a welcoming community to support and empower women and gender minorities in STEM. Outside the lab, she loves hanging out with her two cats, hiking and reading.

NE GWiSE is an alliance between GWISE groups from universities across New England. We are joining together to support and celebrate women and gender minorities in STEM fields, to increase awareness of the issues we face, and create change within our community. We support ideas and actions to increase diverse gender representation in STEM departments, create fair and positive workplace environments, increase the support and mentorship students receive, and enact equitable university and federal policies. Through advocacy, diversity, outreach efforts, and networking opportunities, as well as collective actions and supporting developing GWISE groups, NE GWiSE works to advance policies and programs across New England to promote equality and improve the experience of students. All members of the graduate community are welcome to become NE GWiSE members and attend our events.
